Korean American Martial Arts Academy

I am very happy with the classes; my son is having fun while learning taekwondo, responsibility, respect, and other skills. Professor Nelson is professional and enjoys teaching

Master Nelson is incredibly passionate about Taekwondo. His extensive background in Kukkiwon Taekwondo (WTA), Hapkido, and several other martial arts makes him a truly well-rounded and highly knowledgeable instructor. He also integrates his medical experience as an RN into his teaching, which adds depth, safety awareness, and a greater appreciation for the art. He values discipline, tradition, and structure, yet maintains a warm and welcoming environment that is suitable for students of all ages and experience levels. His school is a place where you feel supported, challenged, and inspired to grow. I highly recommend his school to anyone looking to learn traditional Taekwondo with superior instruction and authentic guidance.

I highly recommend Master Nelson's Kukkiwon-certified Taekwondo school to anyone serious about learning authentic Taekwondo. Master Nelson is a 9th Dan Grandmaster with an impressive decoration and decades of experience. His vast knowledge of traditional Taekwondo is truly exceptional—he teaches not just techniques, but the philosophy, discipline, and spirit that make Taekwondo more than just a sport. Every class feels like a masterclass in both the physical and mental aspects of the art. The instruction is clear, patient, and highly effective, whether you're a beginner or an advanced student. The atmosphere is welcoming yet disciplined, and you can feel the deep respect and tradition in everything we do. If you're looking for genuine, high-level Taekwondo training under one of the best masters in the field, this is the place. Thank you, Master Nelson, for sharing your incredible expertise and inspiring us every day!

Thanks to Master Nelson’s constant dedication and my son’s commitment, he has achieved his black belt in taekwondo at just 10 years old. His guidance has been key not only in physical growth but also in building discipline, respect, and confidence. A true master with a calling. Forever grateful!

Only Taekwondo dojang in FL that is qualified for Kukkiwon certificate. Master Nelson teaches the original way as he was taught from his masters. They are not only teaching taekwondo skills but also teaching the spirit of taekwondo. Strongly recommend!
